yesterday my hand gatal, so i decided to take ot my front panel and simply spray black colour. But when spraying that time, i notice that the paint doesnt 'stick' to the plastic and then got some shape. I thought it will be ok when its dried. Unfortunately, my effort was useless and it was like sh*t. So, is there anyway i can revive this case ?


Edit by mod: So BIG for what? Pls reduce the size of pic n post up again.

did u even sand the front panel down first before spraying?

no, it was smooth btw w/o sanding. isit wrong paint used or must sand it before spraying ? can i do something to make it better ?

are u spray it or use by paint brush?

oso got ur thumb print there...

use the normal anchor spray.
lol. i tried to flattened the shape but it fails. thats why got thumbprint o.

hurm...

as i know if u spray da surface

u must GOSOK da surface first using sand paper

oo. use wat type of sandpaper ? how many grits wan ? so can revive it or not ?

maybe

the sand paper use 250/500 grid like that lor...

sand down the error and reapply the paint again... always wait until it dry than oni spray another layer.

oo.

1st...u must sand it....250 grit will do the job...
2nd...get a nice spray....
3rd.. spray a little but dont too much! else u will gotta cry on it
4th.. spray 1st layer and wait for it dry and after that keep on repeat 3rd step.
then should be no more problem.

wow what a nice colour... sand all the paint until u get almost the original colour back, u need to get the new paint stick man. then use wax n grease remover to clean the surface. then spray the colour u want, layer by layer...

ermm.. how much sandpaper i shall use ? coz i need to buy it at hardware shop for the quantity

bro, the only way to revive it is using grit 600 until all the print gone
then use grit 1000
*NOTE
MUST TAKE OUT ALL THE PART, SEPARATE ALL THE PART 1ST

Ya take out the front panel first, then just get 1pcs of grit 400 & 1 pc grit 600 will do. I think grit 1000 is too fine. You need grit 1000 only if you are going 4 mirror shine.

So just use the 400 n sand off all the paint that you have applied so that you get a nice clean surface that your paint will eventually stick on.

Then spray the 1 st layer, just make it thin, meaning only 1 pass light coat.

Wait 4 it to dry n use the 600grit n gently sand the 1st layer paint to get a smooth surface, then wash n dry it.

proceed 4 the next few layers of paint, of course wait 4 each layer to dry b4 applying the next coat.

You will have a good paint after this.

You can google some sites that teach you on painting using a spray can.

Hopes this helps.

Added on June 13, 2009, 1:12 pmbro, are u sure abt this ? sanding with a 600grit after first spray ? meaning spray it and then sand it for the first layer, then only start the 'real' spraying ? true ?

use 400G first , then go to 1000 , then go to 1200 for finishing .

Then clean it with water to wash away all the dust .

Then , wipe it with high Q cotton cloth .

THen only start spray under windy condition . Not too hot not too damp condition .

nvm. i managed to respray. i try to sand off my paint but cannot sand all of it coz i spray too thick aled. so just sand off to balance the thickeness and then i spray it. so the result was satisfying

u must sand at least 10 min 1...
